Abstract
The objective of this study was to develop and validate a test that allows the evaluation of manual eye coordination and agility in rhythmic gymnasts. A panel of experts was responsible for the selection of the tasks that formed the initial composition of the test. Once constituted and validated by the opinion of the experts in a unanimous way, the test was applied to a sample of 60 gymnasts from 12 to 18 years old (Average Age = 13.76 ± 1.53, Size = 1.54 ± 0.065) and Weight = 44.78 ± 6.55). The reliability of the test for the calculation of the internal consistency through Cronbach's alpha was .885 with the correlation coefficient of the test-retest of .799 It is concluded that the test is a valid and reliable instrument to measure the coordination in gymnasts.
